Korean-American Scientists and Engineers Association US- Korea Conference on Science, Technology, and Entrepreneurship Global Challenges in Science and Technology August 9 – 12, 2007 Reston, Virginia What is KSEA? KSEA is a 36-year-old non-profit national-level professional organization. It is open for participation to all Korean-Americans who have college degrees in science and engineering fields and cherish the heritage of Korean culture. The KSEA’s objectives are to: - Promote the application of science and technology for the general welfare of society; - Foster the cooperation of international science communities especially among the US and Korea; - Serve the majority of Korean-American Scientists and Engineers and help them develop their full career potential. KSEA has more than 30 chapters and 13 technical groups covering all major branches of science and engineering. Since its birth in 1971, KSEA has been recognized as the main representative organization promoting the common interests of Korean-American scientists and engineers toward meeting the objectives mentioned above. KSEA particularly welcomes participation from 1.5th-Generation, 2nd-Generation, and 3rd-Generation Korean- American scientists and engineers including the mixed-race and adoptee communities. KSEA promotes helping younger-generation Korean-Americans to be aware of the rapid advances in science and engineering occurring both inside and outside of the US. Especially, it is helping to create opportunities for Young Generation members to interact with talented scientists and engineers in Korea. KSEA conducts many annual activities that can be found on the website (https://www.ksea.org/). Call for Participation in UKC2008 UKC2008 will be held in San Diego, CA during August 14 – 17, 2007.

About 35 years ago, a group of science and engineering lovers gathered to establish an organization to promote the advancement of science and technology in both Korea and the US. That organization, of course, was the Korean-American Scientists and Engineers Association (KSEA or !). As many of you may know, the Greek capital letter, " (KSEA) has a profound meaning: the harmonious unity between heaven and earth. Since its inception, KSEA and its members have strived to unify scientists and engineers in the US and Korea and to promote the advancement of science and technology. We also started this bi-national conference about 13 years ago, and through the cooperative efforts of KSEA, KOFST and KUSCO, we have enjoyed great success in terms of attendance, the number of papers presented, and most importantly the spectrum and quality of technical programs. The UKC2007 Organizing Committee is dedicated to building off of the success of past conferences and in that spirit has implemented the following initiatives for this year’s event: • Promote the UKC as a platform for true interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary research activities; • Transform the UKC into an international conference by inviting more non ethnic Korean speakers and participants; • Fulfill
